Question

I don’t work in Flash very often, all I need is to add the AS to make my swf pause for a few seconds before looping.

This used to work in AS2:

 stop();
 var interval:Number = setInterval(
   function():Void {
     play();
     clearInterval(interval);
   },
   2000
 );

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

Make sure you import the utility.

import flash.utils.setInterval;

But rather than using setInterval use setTimeout

import flash.utils.setTimeout;
stop();
setTimeout(
  function():Void {
    play();
  },
  2000
);

To do this the more AS3-esque way, use the Timer class.
